New Year’s is just around the corner, and while most of us would love to countdown the coming year wearing hot-off-the-runway couture, in this economy the real fashionistas are those who can look fabulous for less. Fortunately, many of our favorite labels are now designing party-ready pieces at prices guaranteed to have you keeping your style resolutions the whole year through. Here are some of my favorite picks, all for under $150. Fashion lovers, fiscal responsibility has never looked so good.

1. BB Dakota Gretchen Strapless Dress ($101.15), available at Shopbop.

2. Skirt ($149), available at H&M.

3. Satin Halter ($39), available at Jacob.

4. One-Shoulder Dress ($118), available at Armani Exchange.

5. Fringe Mini ($39), available at Joe Fresh.

6. Glimmer Long-sleeve Tee ($108 US), available at J.Crew.

7. Talula Gloria Tank ($60), available at Artizia.

8. Topshop Black Satin Collarless Crop Jacket ($53), available at The Bay.
